Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 704
Two hours later, Zhou Yu was woken up by the alarm clock.

The headache has subsided, he only felt cold sweat all over his body, and immediately went to take a shower.The hotel is expensive, but the quality of the water heater is terrible, and the water is all warm.

Zhou Yu had no intention of complaining.He was still thinking about the call from an unknown source.

The content provided by the other party can basically be regarded as true based on the comparison of his existing translations.The content of the anonymous fax sent also matches the picture in the notes.

If Luo Binhan saw the contents of the fax, he would definitely be denounced as a cult.The sacrifice mentioned in it takes six days in total.Most of them are common sacrificial acts such as burning incense, fasting, and offering sacrifices to wine, while others are unheard of by Zhou Yu.

For example, the place required for the ceremony must be closed in space so that no human can pass through it, and there is only one corner in the entire space.For the remaining positions, either make them not form corners, or make the inner side of the connected walls open to the outside world.

In other words, there can only be one "dead corner" in the ritual space.

Under this premise, perform the designated ceremony for five consecutive days, and use the soul and blood before reaching the "dead end" on the sixth day to open the "dream road".

Those who enter the dream can "see the solution of everything".

Zhou Yu didn't fully believe such absurd content at the time.As an experiment, he prepared live mouse and chicken blood, and planned to complete the living sacrifice with this.

But he couldn't explain what happened next.As the ceremony approached the sixth day, his thinking seemed to change.

My own isolated and closed home, unknowingly, has become a completely strange place.The dark and sneaky atmosphere echoed in the dust, and some kind of hoarse beast-like murmur could be heard in a trance.

When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the "dead corner" with a scalpel.The hoarse murmurs turned out to be his own prayers.

Rats and chicken blood are in the utility room.But without thinking about it, he stretched out his left wrist.

This is an unreasonable certainty - one must use one's own blood.

Then, as described in the telephone recording, he fell into a long dream.If he hadn't been killed by a female rider in his dream, he might never have woken up.

When Zhou Yu woke up in a pool of blood, he was thinking about the contents of that fax all the time.

The so-called "dead game" is by no means a harmless thing, but a death ritual at the cost of life.If it wasn't for the interruption of the dream, he would have died without a doubt.

But is it all right as long as you wake up?
There are still lingering fears in his heart, as if he is still in a nightmare.

After resting in the hotel for half a day, Zhou Yu set off for Jiwei County.The mountains in Qianzhou Province are sparsely populated, and the five villages under the jurisdiction of Jiwei County are scattered in the mountains.Fortunately, Yinxian Township is close to tourist attractions, and you can take a bus to cross the mountain in the first half.

Zhou Yu boarded the bus with the tourists going to the scenic spots, and next to him seemed to be a tour guide with a tour group, explaining the folk customs of Jiwei County on the way.

The tour guide is articulate and has a crisp voice.Although Zhou Yu, who was sitting next to her, was not interested, she couldn't ignore her voice.

"...Everyone knows the story of the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou in ancient times, right? It is said that after Chiyou died, his body was abandoned on Songshan Mountain and turned into a maple tree. On this maple tree, our first ancestor's sister was born. "Bangmeiliu" means "Mother Butterfly" in Chinese. There is a song that goes like this: "There is also the trunk of the maple tree, and the heart of the maple tree. The song is about Mother Butterfly. To this day, girls here still embroider butterflies on their clothes to pray for Mother Butterfly’s blessing.”

Zhou Yu glanced at the tour guide's appearance. The girl was fair-skinned, with long eyelashes and bright eyes. She was wearing ethnic-style clothing with fine butterfly embroidery patterns on the skirt and cuffs.

"...Mother Butterfly has to eat fish since she was born. Where did she eat the fish? It was in a pond called Jiwei. She not only ate fish in Jiwei pond, but also got married with the foam in the pond, and gave birth to ten Two children."

At this point, several girls among the tourists chuckled.

"In short, if you want to say where Mother Butterfly likes the most, it must be Jiwei Pond. According to legend, Jiwei Pond is located deep in these mountains. That's why our place is called Jiwei County."

The tone of the tour guide's pretending to be mysterious adds a lot of color to the story.After talking about the history of Jiwei County, she continued to talk about folk customs.Zhou Yu didn't listen to these, it was time for him to get out of the car.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and Zhou Yu was in poor physical condition, so it was very difficult to walk.It was not until evening that he arrived at the target village.The villagers are all Han nationality, and they were surprised to see him come, as it seems that strangers are rarely seen on weekdays.

Although the cottage is simple, he has no shortage of funds, and it is not difficult to find accommodation.As soon as he found a place to stay, he immediately called up Zhou Yu's photo from his phone and asked if he had seen a similar older woman.

According to Zhou Yu, she looked through the photos and portraits of her paternal family, but none of them looked like herself.Although the father and daughter who are both artists are similar in spirit, they are very different in appearance.Therefore, Zhou Yu firmly believes that she looks more like her mother.

In fact, there is no basis for this.Even if it is a biological child, it is normal for them not to look like their parents, and it is not surprising at all.What's more, the age difference between Zhou Yu and her mother is more than 20 years.Even if they look similar, they may not be able to recognize each other.

However, Zhou Yu has no picture of her mother, nor her name.Zhou Yu had no choice but to hope for a coincidence.

He showed the photo to the homeowner without hope.Unexpectedly, the owner of the house suddenly realized something, nodded and said: "You are looking for Die Gu!"

Zhou Yu was stunned.He didn't expect to find the target so easily, he was stunned for a few seconds before asking: "Is she from this village?"

The owner shook his head and said, "Gu Die lives alone. You can find her at night. She doesn't see anyone during the day." Then he led Zhou Yu out of the room and said, "She lives there."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the desolate mountains under the full moon.

To see the "Die Gu" in the owner's mouth, one must go to the mountains at night.

After Zhou Yu confirmed this, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​leaving tonight.The place where he came from has a well-built mountain road, and it is not difficult to walk, but the real wild mountain area is different.Regardless of the beast, his existing physical strength is not enough to support it.He can only entrust the owner to find a guide tomorrow, and the payment can be negotiated.

The owner of the house is a straightforward person. After hearing this, he directly stated that he could lead the way, and then asked, "Did you seek medical treatment from Diegu?"

Zhou Yu never thought that Zhou Yu's mother was also a doctor, so she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.The homeowner didn't care, and seemed to take his reaction as acquiescence.

Before the homeowner left, he couldn't help asking: "Is Die Gu's real name?"

The owner of the house laughed and explained that Die Gu is not a name, but an honorific title.Her name has never been known.Why "Die Gu" is a respectful name, Zhou Yu probably has something to do with local legends.

Wait until tomorrow night, and you can inquire in person.Whether it's the meaning of the honorific title or the reason why she abandoned Zhou Yu's father and daughter.

According to the owner of the house, the woman lived alone in the mountains with no relatives around her.

Why did you leave without saying goodbye?Why didn't Zhou Yu's family have a single photo of her mother, and why did her father never remarry until his death?

Doubts lingered in Zhou Yu's heart.Although his body was exhausted, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Finally, he simply got up, sat by the window and looked at the distant mountains.

The full moon has not yet risen to a high place, and resides a little above the top of the mountain.Under Yinhua are the two highest peaks in that area.The two peaks are close to each other. From this direction, there is only a long gap in the middle, and the edge emits a slight silver light, as if filled with moonlight.

That scene is like the moon hanging down a long spider thread from the sky, leading to the world.If you climb up along the filament, you can get into the middle of the moon in the sky.This spectacle of "Moonset Silver Line" is the origin of the name of Silver Line Township.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu thought of Chang'e.There are many versions of the legend of Ben Yue, but no matter what, the result is forever.

In the book in Zhou Yu's basement, there is also the story of Chang'e, but it is a grotesque foreign language version: Chang'e was originally a goddess. After marrying the Emperor of Heaven, she gave birth to twelve daughters and was the mother of December.She fell in love with mortals, and went down to earth to marry Houyi privately, but she couldn't bear the life of losing her divine power, and she missed the daughters of the heaven, and finally stole the medicine and fled to the moon.At the end of the story, Chang'e is transformed into a toad and cries forever in the moon palace, which is the emperor's revenge for her infidelity.

The story is told in English, and Zhou Yu speculates that it is a mixture of foreigners who mistaken the moon god Changxi and Chang'e for the same person.I don't know why Zhou Yu's father collected such far-fetched legends.

There are a large number of similar stories in the basement, no matter whether they are Chinese or foreign, the protagonists of all the stories are goddesses, witches, and witches, such mysterious women, and they all have love as their theme, without exception.

Could this be an allusion to Zhou Yu's mother?What happened between the two?
He sat by the window until the moon set before lying back on the bed.

During the daytime of the next day, he hardly ever went out of the room.Such a remote and dilapidated village life made him feel strange in his heart.

However, this is still a community of people.And what the owner said, Zhou Yu's mother lived in a more secluded way, living alone like an ancient hermit, which he couldn't imagine.

After dinner, the owner proposed to take Zhou Yu to the mountains.

It was an old man with a strong physique. Although his head was covered with white hair, his movements were still very vigorous.Just in case, Zhou Yu told Luo Binhan her address and the characteristics of the owner.

He thought that he needed self-defense weapons, climbing tools and other preparations to enter the mountain, but he didn't expect that the owner of the house was empty-handed.

When Zhou Yu asked, he just kept saying it was okay.

Zhou Yu had nothing to object to this, but nothing was better than nothing, and he put a fruit-peeling jackknife in his pocket.

Not long after entering the mountains, the sky completely darkened.The field in spring is extremely wet and cold, and the dense buzzing of insects does not stop for a moment, mixed with howling in the distance.Zhou Yu asked the owner, and got a reply that it was a wild boar in heat.

"...Is it okay?"

"Take it away, you don't know, it's easy to get out of here."

Zhou Yu couldn't understand the dialect at all.But looking at the owner's expression and gestures, he basically guessed that he was telling himself not to care about the beast and concentrate on walking.

Along the valley among the mountains, they slowly approached the twin peaks nestled against each other.The faint and distant Xiaoyue also seemed to start to enlarge.

The silver thread that exudes a hazy glimmer slowly hangs down from the lunar star and falls between the two peaks.Below the silver line is a sparse maple forest.Each tree is so tall that the top of the tree cannot be seen at night.The two walked through the woods and saw a wooden house on the flat ground in the distance.

The house with thatched roof and cloth windows is very simple.It wasn't until we got closer that we found many strange wooden carvings hanging under the eaves.There is a small piece of reclaimed land behind the house, which is planted with young buds of flowers and plants that Zhou Yu doesn't know.

There are indeed people living here.

Thinking of seeing Zhou Yu's biological mother soon, Zhou Yu's heart began to beat faster.He still has too many things to think about, such as how to introduce himself and how to mention Zhou Yu's disappearance to the other party.

When Zhou Yu in the dream mentioned her mother in her diary, she seemed very attached.But what about the mother?What is your attitude towards this daughter who was abandoned by her husband early on?

However, as soon as the two came to the door, the owner who led the way immediately let out a disappointed voice.

He repeatedly told Zhou Yu that the two of them had bad luck today, and Diegu was not here right now.
